House Republicans sent a letter Wednesday asking Wikipedia to reveal the identities of editors it claims have an anti-Israel "bias." It coincides with a similar effort by the far-right Heritage Foundation to "identify and target Wikipedia editors."

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

House Democrats Vow To Hold President Accountable With Agriculture Bill Where First Letter Of Every Line Spells Out ‘Impeach Trump’
WASHINGTON—Seeking to mollify a segment of their base clamoring for inquiries into the president’s misconduct, House Democrats announced Tuesday that they would be holding the administration accountable by voting on an agricultural bill in which the first letter of every line spells out “Impeach Trump.” “We believe this is a fair compromise that falls short of the full impeachment inquiry some have asked for, but still shows voters who have the correct decoder that Democrats aren’t taking this president’s crimes lying down,” said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, telling reporters that the bill had been brought to the floor despite objections from Democrats in battleground districts who generally favored a more complex alphabetic cipher that would eventually spell out “Impeach Trump if polling improves,” or, “Impeach Trump at the ballot box.” “When our children look back on this period of history, they will know that the Democratic party served as a check on this corrupt administration by putting forward a bold and straightforward word puzzle proclaiming that this is not who we are as Americans.” At press time, an elated Hoyer confirmed that the House had secured the bill’s passage after tacking on an additional $2.5 million in funding for the president’s border wall.

No one elected Elon Musk.
As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.
We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

The big story here seems to be that NYT set out on a fishing expedition to find Dems willing to suggest that trans people cost them the election. NYT's anti-trans bias is undefeated.
My first for Rolling Stone: Did the NYT create the whole “Dems in disarray over trans rights” thing?
Rep. Seth Moulton says they started it.
I interviewed the Dem congressman who unintentionally sparked a narrative that trans rights hurt Dems in the election.

1. Transgender Congresswoman Sarah McBride has announced that she will comply with Speaker Johnson's policy declaring her a man and banning trans people from bathrooms.
She is receiving sharp critiques from those with trans friends who work in the capitol.

ok, my hottest hot journalism take is that journalism which relies on paywalls for funding and restricts access to those who cannot afford it or otherwise just cannot be bothered to jump through the hoops to read that content is not accessible journalism, and access matters a ton right now.
